AMY Macdonald says she is already revving up to appear on Top Gear now that Jeremy Clarkson has invited her on the show.

Amy received a text invite from the TV motormouth when she was a guest on the Patrick Kielty’s Radio 2 show after expressing her desire to join the TV petrolheads.

Amy told the Razz: “It looks like I’m in there, finally.

“Jeremy sent a text straight back saying ‘Absolutely – I could go on the show’ so I think that’s it sorted now.

“I don’t think he’ll be scared I’ll take his job. For him it’s probably just good to have someone on who is passionate about cars for a change.”

Amy has a fleet of fast cars, including her £170,000 Ferrari 458, Audi R8, and Audi Q7.

She said she isn’t worried about injuring herself on the track.

Amy has been bombarding the producers of Top Gear for a guest spot on the show since 2010 when she first confessed to the Razz: “I love Top Gear. It’s my favourite show and I want to go on it.

“I’ve asked them a few times but they think Cameron Diaz and Tom bloody Cruise are better than me. I quite like Jeremy Clarkson. I like all of them, including James May, Captain Slow.”

But the Bishopbriggs born talent won’t have too much time for filming as she is about to embark on a UK tour.

Amy, who releases single Pride on August 13 from her third album Life In a Beautiful Light, will play Glasgow’s ABC on October 30.

She said: “Obviously Glasgow is always brilliant to play because it’s my home town and the crowds are always amazing.

“Manchester always has a really good crowd too. I haven’t performed here on tour since 2010 but I’ve had so much practice because I have spent the last four or five years constantly touring so many venues.”
